Amazon.com Review:
Whether you're a recreational exerciser looking to create a shapelier bottom half, a competitive athlete focused on increasing your leg power for your sport, or anywhere in between, Stronger Legs and Lower Body presents 124 clearly illustrated exercises and drills that will satisfy any fitness level or goal. The exercises use machines, body weight, free weights, body bars, steps, ankle weights, stability balls, bongo boards, and bands to work the calves, thighs, and buttocks. But the book is more than an excellent collection of exercises--you'll get information about setting up a strength-training program, assessing your level, training effectively and safely, and much more. Both women and men will find enough information and exercises to create a personalized program for strength, body sculpting, power, and performance.
Keli Roberts is a celebrity trainer and an international fitness instructor. She is the author of Fitness Hollywood: The Trainer to the Stars Shares Her Body-Shaping Secrets. Exercise physiologist and fitness consultant Linda Shelton is fitness editor for Shape and Fit Pregnancy. Stronger Legs and Lower Body is highly recommended for exercisers of all levels designing their personal lower-body strength program. --Joan Price

A complete, concise and comprehensive reference with 124 different exercises for legs, and lower body (gluts, abs, lower back).
It has exercises for strengthening, stabilizing, toning, shaping, and conditioning. There are even cardio programs for fat-burning. Each exercise is fully illustrated and described in detail, including setup, action, and safety information.
I disagree with the previous reviewer, since the book has dumbbells and barbells exercises alternatives (squats, dead-lifts and lunges) that can be used at home. I own this book, and it has been very illustrative to help me pick the right exercise to workout at the gym, and at home.
If you are lloking for an at home exercise guide, you might want to consider "The Men's Health Home Workout Bible".

This book is a veritable dictionary of lower body exercises. There are stabilizing exercises, resistant exercises, exercises done on the floor, using exercise bands, etc. Most of these exercises are ones you've probably seen or done if you're a regular exerciser but some are alternatives to those standbys, which can be great if you're tired of doing the same old squats and lunges.
My main gripe about this book is that a good deal of the really great exercises need to be done in a gym with gym equipment. For many people, this is fine but for people like me who don't want to sign up to a gym nor have the time to go to one, I just wished that they provided at home alternatives usings dumbells.
Not a ground breaking, revolutionary book but not a bad one either. A good book to have if you problem or main focus is the lower body. (Buy it used or rent it out from the library)
